Ian Butterfield created a realistic human head and teeth model for use with studying human perception. The tests were for dentistry and the perception of tooth color.

Project: Ian Butterfield modeled a human head for use with psychology vision lab tests. The head looked as realistic as possible within the time constraints set by the project. Since the tests were centered around dentistry, the head had to have a complete set of teeth, gums, and tongue. The whole head, neck, shoulders was constructed since angles of rendered images were undecided. Final outcome was a group of rendered images.
